It's been a while. I'm back...sort of!

Hello all! It's been a while since I posted on this my fav forum and section. I do hope that all are well and still enjoying their cars.

As some of you know, I sold my beloved 991S a few months ago and ordered a '15 GT3. After much agonizing about the options and in particular the color, I settled on GT Silver with the usual options including 18way seats, full leather, lift, etc.

The car turned up at the dealer yesterday and it didn't take me long to grab the keys and take off! It is now in my garage!

I drove the 50 miles home on a variety of roads and the car is simply staggering. In normal driving mode it is incredibly road compliant and nothing like its predecessor which was bone jarring. In a slightly meaner mode, the car comes alive and is where it's most at peace!

In summary, the 991 GT3 can be gentler than Jekyll and meaner than Hyde!... all in an instant!

A bunch of pics are on the following thread.

Here's a taster.



And those of you who may know about my nephews...here's their impression of their test drive!
